"We went with some friends tonight, and it was so great to see the Berhe family again. The renovations look great, and the Berhes were able to maintain the intimate feeling of dining in their home. They're a first for the restaurant, which previously only served food in the evening.The Berhes, who own both Axum and the adjacent Sunrise Market, are fixtures of the Lower Haight. Berhe has owned Axum for just over 20 years.Though they might not appear outwardly substantial, the improvements made to Axum over the past year were the first in the course of Berhe's ownership, he told Hoodline. They include bigger windows, a new ceiling and relocated kitchen walls.Axum Cafe is currently open daily for dinner from 4-11 p.m. Daytime service should arrive in the coming weeks.
